After several years focusing solely on new construction, we’re excited to relaunch East Texas Fixer Upper and return to our roots: transforming kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes into beautiful, functional spaces our clients love. Whether it’s a modern farmhouse makeover or a complete home addition, we specialize in thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and doing things right the first time — as our favorite saying goes:
“Do it right the first time, because no one likes to come back a second"
Our son, a proud Army veteran, handles much of the work himself with meticulous attention to detail, and we both bring a strong design eye to every project. From cozy farmhouse charm to sleek modern lines, we tailor each renovation to fit our clients’ style, needs, and budget. We even offer in-house design and selection specialists to help guide you through every step — plus our own floor plan designer for new builds or custom additions.
